Aft • ( wzr ' • is o WITH WHICH " THE TRUE SUN" IS NOW INCORPORATED. LONDON : WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 2, 1838. As Dr. CHALMERS concluded his third lecture yesterday with a repetition of what the Post calls a " most elegant phillipic against the coarse and sordid utilitarianism of the age" we think it our duty at once to say that the appellation of this maxim by the Rev. Doctor, to the Legislature, demonstrates that he is either a grossly negligent observer of modern history, or that he wilfully perverts it to serve a party pur pose. In either case he is an unsafe guide. In 1825, the Legislature of this country voted, almost by acclamation, the sum of 1,500,0001. for building Churches, a-ad placed it wholly at the disposal of the priesthoot!, of the Established Church. In 1833 our se, called sordid Legislature and our people cheerfully voted no less than 20,000,0001. sterling to the slave-owners, as the price of the redemption of the slaves. In the following year our utilitarian and grovelling Legislature voted 1,000,0001. sterling to the priests of the Irish Church, not one farthing of which will the people ever get back out of their clutches. This sordid Legislature has also, within these few years, voted considerable sums for building schools and extending education both in England and Ireland, notwithstanding the immense funds which the good sense or the piety of our ancestors appropriated to this purpose—funds which, if honestly applied by that class of men who arc the trustees to carry the gifts or the bequests into execution, and who, like the horse-leech, are still bawling " give, give, " as they hold forth their capacious wallets, like the greasy-begging monks, their predecessors—fund s that are amply sufficient duly to educate all the people. Besides these sums the " sordid" Legislature, in opposition, we must say, to the soundest principles of political science, looking to the beggared condition of many of the tax-payers, has voted considerable sums, as Dr. CHALMERS yesterday admitted, to the building of National Galleries, to the purchase of Pictures, to the augmentation of the Museum, and to the improving the taste, correcting the science, and enlarging the knowledge, of the people. There are various opinions as to the propriety of the Legislature devoting the national funds to any of these objects ; but there can be but one opinion as to the fact, that the Legislature, in no previous thirteen years of its history, ever before applied such a mass of the nation's wealth to religious, benevolent, and philanthropic purposes, as since 1825. It is at the same time true that the vote of 1,500,0001. for building Churches, has much more promoted discord than charity ; strife, than religious peace—and has turned out one of the most fatal gifts that ever was made to the church. It is the last straw laid on the wealth-burthened beast which has broken its back. It is at the same time true that the splen did vote of 20,000,0001. given for the freedom of the slaves has done little more than nou rish the pride and avarice of their masters ; and that the whole empire is at this moment loudly bewailing the useless extravagance. It is, at the same time, true, that the 1,000,0001. advanced to the Irish tithe-owners has not lessened their itnplaca bility, or hastened the settlement of the tithe-question by one (lay, and is so much of the public money throw n wantonly and wastefully into the lap of those idle, profligate men, who think any pretext sufficient to extort and to waste the property of those they pretend to instruct and serve. What will be the fruit of those other votes to which we have alluded time only can shew but Dr. CHALMERS made us yesterday sensible that they have already excited the envy and the cupidity of his order, and that they supply him with the strongest if not the only argument on which he demands similar aid for endowing more priests in Scotland. The re sults, then, of those votes, including his envy, are not such as to encourage an imitation of them, and the mem bers of the legislature must wall up their minds against the light of daily experience, if they should be induced by Dr. CHALMERS' unjust tirades against sordid economy, and his unfounded argUtnents to repeat the public extravagance, which it is his object to recom mend. Dr. CHALMERS may, after all, not be wrong in describing the age as hard, griping, and avaricious, as coarse and sordid—for these are undoubtedly the essential characteristics of the Priesthood ; and as they are the salt of the society, it is not surprising that their peculiar savour should predominate in the mess. We cannot to-day enter further into the yesterday' s lecture, of which we give our readers an ample report but we agree with the Post, that it " was not so attractive, or so redundant in new and striking views, as were the previous lectures." A poorer hash, in fact, of unfounded distinctions and noisy reiteration has not often been imposed as sound reasoning and high-souled eloquence on a willingly credulous audi ence, by a great name and an energetic manner. Mr. HOME last night brought forward his motion for suspending the payment of the annuity to the Duke of CUMBERLAND, so long as that virtuous per sonage shall continue King of HANOVER. The Hon. Member for Kilkenny prefaced his motion by a *peach which the CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER attempted, but entirely failed, to answer. It has now become the fashion, when Parliament is called upon to perform any act of national justice, to plead "a solemn contract" as an insurmountable obstacle in the way of all such measures. The poor hard-worked, hard-flogged, anti half-starved negroes cannot be rescued from the oppression of their inhuman task masters, because the Imperial Parliament has entered into a contract with the traders in the flesh, blood, and hones, of their fellow -creatures, which must on no account be infringed I In like manner a grant of the public money cannot be fcaumed, let circum stances arise ever so different from those under which it was made, without violating a "solemn contract." In short, whenever the advocates of improvement or retrenchment raise their voices, they are met, and clamoured down, with a " contract." This was the only argument—if it deserve that name—which the opponents of Mr. HUME'S mo tion could muster among them. Was there ever a greater piece of jugglery attempted to be played off upon the public ! If there was a contract with the Duke of CUMBERLAND, what did his Royal High ness contract to do for his 21,000/. per annum ? This is a point which we should like to have settled in it is altogether inconceivable that there should be only one party to a contract. And if the Duke engaged to discharge certain duties for the magnificent stipend allotted to him, out of the taxes wrung from the scanty earnings of an over worked people, how, pray, does he acquit himself of the obligation ? The plain common sense view of the matter is this :—the grant was given to the Duke of CUMBERLAND because he had no means of support. It differs in nothing, as far as the character of the thing is concerned, from any other pension ; and it is impossible to advance any one good or even plausible reason for continuing it a moment after the necessity out of which it originally rose has ceased to exist. That necessity ceased when the Duke of CUMBER LAND ascended the Throne of Hanover ; for it will not, we presume, be contended that the Royal revenues of that Kingdom are not adequate to his sup port ; and as his MAJESTY has not had sense or de cency enough to make a voluntary surrender of that which was so liberally bestowed, but which he no longer requires, it is the duty of Parliament to inter pose, and resume the grant. The assertion of a Tory Print that Mr. R. STEUART is to vacate his seat for Haddington, and accept some permanent office, is, we have authority to state, wholly without foundation. It is one of those fabrications with which the Tory Prints continually dupe their readers, and which are more convincing proofs of the fertility of their imagination, than of their respect for truth. On the principle that it is but fair to bear what may be said on the other side, we hare inserted elsewhere a letter on the subject of Copyright. Without any disrespect to our correspondent we must say, that after a good deal of special pleading, he has, we think, left the question, as nearly as possible, in the state in which he found it. There may be some disadvantages, as JACK BOOKWORM remarks, in recurring to first prin: ciples, and discussing legislative measures on the ground of abstract right. At the same time we can see no great harm in fortifying the reasons for passing a law, by shewing that it is strictly conformable to our re ceived notions of natural right. But it is rather amusing to find a gentleman, after an exordium depre cating all reference to such principles, trying to found an argument entirely upon them. Our correspondent's view of an author's right in his thoughts is curious. " So long," says he, " as a man's thoughts are lodged in his own brain, they are, of course, his own. If, however, he gives his thoughts to the world, the world, or that portion of it which listens to him, has, as I think, a natural right to adopt them ; and his thoughts being assimilated to their minds, become their thoughts, their property ; and they have a natural right to think these thoughts, and also to com municate them, &c." Now this is something like begging the whole question at issue. Why should one man's thoughts become another man's property because they are communicated to him ? If they were once the original thinker's property —and it is admitted they were pre-eminently so—how does his right in them cease by their being made known to other men ? Has he not a natural right to claim them as his, whenever he can show his original title to them ? If there were a common fund of thought, as there is of light or air, to which all men might resort freely, there might be some cogency in an argument for an unrestricted use of thought. As man has a natural right to breathe the air and use the light, wherever he exists, organs of respiration and vision having been provided for him by nature, so it might in such a case, be said that he has a right to sup ply himself out of the common reservoir of thought. But this not being so, and each man being furnished with a separate apparatus for the creation of thought, has a natural right only to those thoughts which this apparatus can produce. Our correspondent's argu ment may be thus illustrated :—farmer Workhard rears a considerable number of pigs. So long as he keeps hi, pigs shut up in his own pig-yard they are of course his own ; if, however, he sends them out upon the com mon, Squire Gripeall has a natural right to appropriate them, and they being driven into his pig-yard, and as similated with his pigs, become his property. As to the comparison which our correspondent makes between the claim of an author and that of an agriculturist selling a bushel of grain, and insisting that the purchaser has no right to sow it, the analogy is altogether false. The agriculturist is not the creator of the grain, as the author is of the work. The Author of Nature has transferred to others no copy right in any of his works, and the agriculturist, in the case supposed, is merely_ the publisher unjustly claim ing an author's rights. Our correspondent having completely failed, as we think, to show that an author has no natural right in his works, proceeds to discuss the question on the ground of expediency, meaning by that term the greatest good of the greatest number. Now, we arc not quite sure, that if a natural right is established, it is possi ble to invalidate it by an appeal to expediency, inas much as the law of expediency, as we have defined it, and as our correspondent seems to use it, is, in reality, the law which nature follows in all her operations, as far, at least, as we can understand those operations. Nunquam aliud natura, aliud sapientia disit. If, then, it can be established, as we do think it can, that an author has a natural right to a property in his works (if he has a natural right to a property in anything) it will follow that it cannot be for thegencral good to deprive him of that right, or even to limit it in any degree ; but, on the contrary, that the general good will be best consulted by allowing him its free exercise. W e have not advocated the legal recognition of this unrestricted right at present ; but we have abstained from doing so, not from any doubt as to the policy and propriety of such a law, but solely because we think that the Legislature is not yet prepared to pass a measure of full justice to the owners of mental property—namely, such a measure as would put them on a footing of equality with the owners of physical or corporeal pro perty. We hare, on this account, contented ourselves with a slight improvement in the present state of the law—with making a trifling movement in advance— satisfied that the time is not far distant when full justice will be done to literary men, and when it will be regarded as one of the most astounding things in the history of an enlightened age, that the very magnitude of the benefit conferred by one class of the community upon the other classes, should have beer► urged as an unanswerable argument for denying that class the pro tection awarded by the laws to all the others I A paragraph having more than once appeared in a Sunday Paper, which has caused great uneasiness to THE SUN, LONDON, WE'DYESDAY, MAY 2, 1838. The German Papers received to-day state that pre parations are on foot for laying down a Railway be tween the Cities of Florence and Milan. In the latter City the inhabitants are anxiously awaiting the (to them) important event of the arrival of the Imperial family. They anticipate a rich harvest, as the peace of Europe is favourable to the throng and splendour of a Coronation. We regret to learn that the zeal of the younger Catholic clergy in the Rhenish Pro rinces is entirely exerted to fill the popular mind with distrust of the intentions of the Prussian Government. Protestants are placed under the ban of heresy, and every argument is used to put an end altogether to mixed marriages. On the other hand, the emissaries of the Government retaliate with a scorn which must greatly widen the already dange rous breach. The Government is blamed for its to leration of idolatry, and threats arc employed, useless, except for the purpose of irritation. We fear this dis graceful contumacious contest will not end without bloodshed. Five AUSTRIAN FUNDS. — VIENNA, APRIL 21. - Cents. Metalliques 7ents. Cents. 14F1% Fomr per Three pei —Allgemeinc:Zeitung, April 26. The Paris Journals of Monday have been received. Neither they, nor the Dutch Papers which reached us last night, contain a word about the reported separa tion of Luxemburg from Belgium. We believe the whole originated in the following paragraph from a Brussels Paper of Saturday:— " A few days ago a detachment of from 1,000 to 1,200 Prussians went with all military parade to Strasser, a village within the circuit of the federal fortress of Luxemburg, cut down the tree of liberty which had lately been planted there, and carried off the Belgian flag, which was displayed at its top. The communication of this fact to the Chamber of Represen• tatives, at its sitting to-day, by a Luxemburg Deputy, excited a very warm discussion, which ended in the appointment of a Committee for the purpose of drawing up an address. It is very likely that there were not twenty Prus sians, nor troops of any nation, engaged in the perpe tration of this outrage upon the Belgian flag. It looks very like the result of a drunken frolic. We find no domestic or other news in the French paper:: worthy notice. The subjoined extracts include the latest intelligence from Spain : The Phare de Bayonne has the following news :-- SARAGOSSA, APRIL 22.--The division of Abecia com manded by General Santos San Miguel, hastily left Carinena the day before yesterday, taking the road to Alcania and Ca binda. The latter place was in the greatest danger. The iwurgennts had taken fort Santa Barbara, which was aban doned by the national guards, and from the frontier they kept up a terrible fire with their artillery against Calanda. It was seriously apprehended that the place could nut hold out above 24 hours. I do not know whether the force of Santos San Miguel, will suffice to beat Cabrera, who is besieging Calanda with six battalions, 300 cavalry, and some pieces of cannon, but it was af firmed yesterday, that the General-in-Chief had passed through Teruel, on the way to Calanda. If Oraa arrives in time, the insurgents will not wait for his coming; his troops will be fatigued, without being able to come to an action. If Calanda fall, Semper and other fortified positions will successively become the prey of Cabrera, who knows that the patriots of the country and their fortunes are shut up in these forts.._ Gazette de France.

Lord CARIUNGTON's friends, We Are requested to give the following statement I-- It is perfectly true, as stated in the Paper in question, that the Honourable Miss JA NE SMITH expired at Tunbridge-wells on Saturday, October 7, and that her sister, the Countess of STANHOPE, gave a ball at the public rooms at Deal on the Monday night following, October 9 : it is equally true that Lord CARRINGTON was allowed to go to, and was present, at that ball ; but it is a fact, to be substantiated by the written evidence of the parties concerned in the concealment, that lie was entirely ignorant and unsus picious of what had occurred—the event having been purposely concealed from him. The Honourable Miss JA NE SMITH died, after a short illness, early on the Saturday morning, at Tun. bridge-wells ; and Dr. WILMOT, her physician, sent an express immediately to London with a letter, announcing the intelligence, which letter having been posted in London, reached Deal Castle by the post of Sunday morning, October 8. This letter was addressed by Dr. WILNroT to Lady CARRINGTON, in order that she might break it, and that the shock of a daughter's death might not fall too abruptly on a man of Lord CARRINGTON'S advanced age. Upon con sultation with, and acting under the advice of Lord NIA HON, Lord CARRINGTON'S grandson, Lady CARRINGTON was most unfortunately persuaded to agree to conceal the contents of the letter until the Tue sday morning, October 10, on which morning it was communicated by Lord MAHON to Lord CARRING TON. Since the discovery of the truth, no man can have suffered more acute pain from the cruel, disgrace ful, and wanton injury inflicted upon him than Lord CARRINGTON, and be more alive to the outrage com mitted, not only against the decencies and forms of so ciety, but against the common feelings of humanity. His indignation at having been thus unjustly and un warrantably exposed, at eighty-six years of age, to a reproach, intolerable to a parent and a Christian, may be easily conceived by every well-regulated mind. We have advices from Lisbon to the 25th ult. A change has taken place in the construction of the Portuguese Cabinet. Baron DE FOJAL, late D'OLI VEIRA, has retired from the Finance Department, in which he has been succeeded by CARVALHO, and Count BONIFIAI has, after a great deal of coaxing, ac cepted the not over-onerous post of War Minister. The KING, QUEEN, and PRINCE ROYAL were in good health, and the country comparatively tranquil. The Iberia steamer, which brought these advices, left Vigo on the 26th ult., six days later than the City of Londonderry steamer with mails from Malta, which had not been heard of at Falmouth up to Monday evening. Serious apprehensions were entertained as to the safety of the missing vessel. CHANCERY COURT-(THIS DAY.) flOtfitTTFl V. LINGTIAM. The Lnan CttANCbt.t.ott gave judgment this Mt:titling In this case which was argued before his Lordship a few days since. The bill was originally filed by the plaintif, as the owner of a ship, against the de fendants, for the purpose of obtaining payment of the freight. Upon the case coming on before the Vice-Chancellor, his Honour made a de cree for payment ; but upon the matter coming before Lord Lyndhurst, upon appeal, he directed a case to the Court of Common Pleas; that Court decided that the plaintiff was not entitled to the demand he made, and upon that judgment the case now came before the Court. His Lordship, after going at some length into the facts of the case, stated his opinion to be that the order of the Vice-Chancellor was erroneous, and discharged his order. His Lordship's opinion was, that the bill must be dismissed with costs. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY [Sittings at Nisi Prius before Mr. Justice Vaughan and a Common Jury. WILKINS V. KENNEDY. In this cause, which arose out of the Church.ratc warfare id St. Pancras, the plaintiff was the broker employed by the defendant, the collector of the rates, in August last, to destrain the goods of the recusants. The action was brought to recover from the defendant, the fees and costs of the plaintiff in performing the duty. The defence was that the defendant had not agreed to pay the sum demanded, and that the demand was fraudulent. Witnesses employed by the plaintiff proved that the duty had been performed—that porters had been em ployed as stated in the declaration—and also constables to protect them from the mob. In stating the defendants case Sir F. Pollock put in an account book admitted to be plaintiffs handwriting, and in which there appeared charged against the defendant only 31. lOs , instead of 12/. Ps., the present demand. From this the Learned Counsel contended that the wit nesses were perjured. Several of the Jurors intimated that they were not prepared to be_ lieve that. Mr. Perkins Body, clerk to the Trustees of the parish of St Pancras Church, stated that the plaintiffs presented the account on which the pre sent action was brought, to the trustees, by whom he was told he should be paid as soon as his account was audited. The object of this was to show that the action was improperly brought against Kennedy. The witness told plaintiff that the charge of 7s. 6d. a day was exorbitant. It was not usual to pay the broker anything for his own days. Mr. Justice IrstsonsN— I think it snore exorbitant not to pay any thing —(Laughter.) Mr. Sergeant STORKS—And when the whole parish was up in arms against the rate ?—(A laugh.) Mr. Thiselton, one of the tax collectors in St. Pancras. stated that he never paid anything to a broker per day, but that the broker was paid by the parties on whom the levy was made, a sum regulated by the Act of Parliament. Other witnesses to the same effect—one of whom admitted that he had employed plaintiff; and had sanctioned his making charges similar to those made in the present case, and that brokers in St. Pancras had refused to go into certain districts without extra payment. The Jury having deliberated a short time, returned a verdict, in the whole amount, for the plaintiff: LOYD'S SHIPPING.-(THIS DAY, DEAL, MAT I, — Wind S.W., moderate. —Arrived, and proceeded for the River, the Harriet, Forengan, from Jamaica; the Fairies, Agar, from Manilla ; the Kitty, King, from South Seas; the Juno (steamer), from Cork; and several others, particulars unknown.

The Dublin Evening Mail of Monday, with an amusing exhibition of conscious importance, and of its superior sources of official information, proclaims in its least modest manner, and in the very largest letters--The postponement of the Coronation :—" It has just been communicated to us (quoth our exclusive) on authority upon which we can place implicit reliance, that the Coronation is to be put off—first for ten days ; and this with a view to its further postponement. All the London Journals of Saturday evening, Ministerial and Opposition, are silent upon the subject; but from the quarter from whence:the information has reached us, we are disposed to place confidence in the fact as stated." After a good deal of ingenious adscription, anti of course, extremely candid conjecture, both with respect to the motives and causes touching the afore-avouched putting off of the pageant, our contemporary be comes silent with the joyful anticipation of the disappointment which will be felt by the expectant Peers if the ceremony do not take place at all—a contingency most comforting to the Mall, and coincident with its belief and its hope. The execution of Ann Wycherley, at Stafford, for infanticide, was postponed to Saturday, the sth of May. After sen tence of death had been pronounced against her, it will be recollected she said that she was pregnant, and a jury of matrons was forthwith im. pannelled to ascertain the foct, who declared that she was " not quick." This was a legal verdict ; but if they thereby meant to negative the plea of pregnancy, they were mistaken, as a subsequent miscarriage has Placed the question beyond all doubt. This occurrence must be attri buted to the mental agony of the poor creature, induced by the prospect before her, and may possibly obtain for her a commutation of the sen tence; for, if she suffers, it will but excite public sympathy in her be half. Since the above was written, we learn that on Thursday last a re. Prieve was received for Hannah Heath, convicted of the murder of the murder of her grand-child, at Baddeley Green, but that Ann Wycher. ley is left for execution on Saturday next. PUBLIC MEETING—POST-OFFICE ABUSES.— On Tuesday last, a public meeting was held in the Town-hall, Greenock, in reference to the above subject. On motion of Baillie Muir, the Provost was called to the Chair. After a few words from the Provost, Mr. Wallace, the Hon. Member for Greenock, with whose untiring cx. ergies on the Post-office abuses, the public are familiar, spoke at great length on the question. A series of resolutions was then moved, by Wrn. Macfie, Esq., seconded by J. Tier, Esq., Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, and subsequently carried nem con. by the meeting. Thanks to Mr. Wallace, and to the Provost, baying been respectively carried, the meeting separated. Mr. William Turner paired off in favour of Mr. Hume's motion, on the allowance to the Duke of Cumberland, with Mr G'rimsditch. ANTI - SLAVERY.-The announcement made by The Seen on Wednesday. that Ministers, attentive to the voice of the country, had withdrawn further opposition to the instant emancipation of the negro apprentices, has, as might naturally have been expected, given great and general satisfaction. The provinces, particularly, have testified their joy in a manner which shows how deep is the interest taken, how intense the sympathy felt, in the cause of suffering humanity. Since the glad tidings were conveyed, scarcely has there been a single Paper, published in any part of the country, that has not dwelt with heartfelt satisfaction on the pleasing prospect we presented. It would appear that never was the influence of The Sun more widely diffused, or more genially and joyously felt, than on Wednesday . , when it shone on the sons of slavery, and gilded the hopes of the good and humane.

Tile Tower of London was opened yesterday for the first time to the public, to view the armoury at one shilling each person. More than a year ago a bag of money, declared to contain three thousand francs, was taken by an agent of the house of Rothschild to the coach-office of M. Crottet, at Geneva, to be conveyed to Paris. The bag was stolen ; Messrs. Rothschild made a demand upon the coachmaster for upwards of seventeen thousand francs as the real contents. This claim was resisted, on the ground of the declaration at the time of delivery that the bag contained only three thousand francs, which sum was tendered and refused. The question was on the point of being brought before the tribunals, when, not many nights ago, about ten o'clock at night, the door-bell of M. Crottet's house was rung with great violence. The servant went to the door followed by her master, and on the door-sill they found the lost money.bag, with the whole of the seventeen thousand francs untouched.

Sugar sells steadily at previous rates, but is no dearer than it was last Friday. The stock now is 12,122 hhds. and trs., which is 5,601 more than it was at this time last year. To-day we have no public sales of Sugar or Coffee, and the unclean sorts of B. P. Coffee must be quoted lower than they had been. The stock of B. P. Coffee is 1,045 casks and 983 brls. and bags ; Ceylon 9,499 bags ; Mocha 3,660 bales; Brazil 35,927 bags. The Cinnamon sale is over, and prices on an average from 3d. to 6d. per lb. higher than those of last sale. Other kinds of Spices are flat, but not lower. Refined Sugar is held for 345. for fine crushed. Saltpetre is dull, For tomorrow our public sales arc chiefly drugs, indeed we may say wholly so. We may expect some large imports very shortly of all de scriptions of goods besides Colonial. We are warranted in saying, that there is more business doing in Co lonial produce now, than there has been for some time. COUNTRY CORN MARKETS. .1 Wheat. Barley. Oats. 1 Beans. Pease. Per Quarter.

Since this day week we have experienced easterly winds. The ar rivals of Oatmeal and Flour were large during the above period, but with Grain of all sorts we are only moderately supplied. There was a very steady demand for Wheat at this day's Market, and prime sam ples were sold at an improvement of 3d. on the currency of Tuesday last. Flour also sold readily, and was fully 2s. per sack dearer. Oats and Oatmeal likewise moved off freely, the latter at 3s. per 240 lbs., and the former at Is. per 45 lbs. advance on the rates of this day week. Beans and Peas met a tolerable inquiry at somewhat higher prices, and Irish Grinding Barley being very scarce, was in good request. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET. A brisk demand continues to exist for Cotton, and a considerable portion has found purchasers this day at an improvement on Friday's quotations of Id. per lb. The entire business consists of 4,000 bags :- 3,500 American, 51d. to Sid.; 200 Surat, 4id. ; 150 Maranham, 91d. ; 150 Egyptian, Sid. to SP.—Total 4,000 bags. MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY (THIS DAY), TWELVE O'CLOCK. According to accounts received this morning, there has been a de cided improvement in the trade of Manchester. The demand for yarns and for printed cloths has been better than for some weeks past, and a small advance in the rates have taken place, and the prevailing opinion was that prices have at length seen their lowest. There also has been an improvement in the cloth market at Leeds, The Lisbon mail has been received by the Iberia steamer, arrived at Falmouth, sailed on the 25th ult.

On the arrival of the Lisbon mail on Monday it left off at 33f 1, at present it may be quoted at 32; this fall is owing to another change in the Portuguese Ministry, and the insurgents on the frontier gaining ground.

The chief speculation in the course of the morning in the Foreign Market was in Portuguese Stock, which experienced a fall of 1 per cent. The exact cause of this depression is not as yet ascertained. The accounts received by the Lisbon mail are not of an unfavourable nature. We have no tidings as yet of the City of Londonderry steamer, which left Vigo on the 21st ult. for Falmouth.

Having somewhat recovered from the effects of the fall, he began to call out " murder," which drew the po liceman stationed at the extremity of the town to the spot, where he found the four young men with Barker, who immediately gave them into custody on a charge of robbing hi m of 954 in b ank-notes, and a check for W., which he said he had deposited in his waistcoat , pocket when he left Cambridge. The young men were consequently taken in charge, and locked up in the station -house during the night. The next morning Barker proceeded there, and told the inspector of police to liberate the men, as he had found the money between the lining of his small clothes where it appears lie had consigned it, as he had been in the habit of doing when partaking too freely of liquor. The men were detained in custody till Monday morning, when they were taken before Colonel Pemberton at Trumpington, and the affair was compromised by Barker giving them a small sum of money each, as compensation for being falsely and unjustly imprisoned upon a charge which, had they chosen to have taken into a Court of Justice, the ex pences incurred by the complainant might have exceeded the sum he said he had been robbed of.

BRITISH AND FOREIGN BIBLE SOCIETY.-(THIS DAY.) The Anniversary Meeting of this Society was held this day at Exeter Hall, But instead of a report of the proceedings (which it was our in tclithsts to furnish), we can simply give the reason why no such report appears. On our reporter applying for admission at the door, he wa s told by two individuals with long white sticks in their hands, that no reporter, nor anybody else, could be admitted without a ticket; and en his replying that no ticket had been given, the answer was, that ticked had been sent to all the Pap ers w h o we re "expected" to send reporters. A letter was immediately dispatched to the Secretary, and one of the " White Wands" was requested to forward it to that gentleman. He took it with the implied intention of so doing; taut soon re' urned with it (unopened) in his hand, and said, in t he '! ' authoritative tones which sufficiently di s pl a y e d a due sense of the high power and great responsibility of his station, " We pay our own J porters—none others arc required." As the letter of the Editor 'O4 slot suffered to reacts the Secretary, it would not be fair to charge t he exclusion of the Press upon him ; the only remark we will venture is, that it appears unwise to invest with the dignity of " a stick" perso ns w ho nso misunderstand th e ir position as to pr esuni _ to intercept a letter adWssed to the Secretary of a great and imp orta n t Society, and take upon themS: i.e lves to exclude from a public meeting te_ Reporters of the Press—thus, at least, affording some ground to l uncharitable of concluding that they " s:,rink from the light, because their deeds—if not evil—require the protecuon of obscurity."
